May 18, 2024, Business
Ann C. will be checking on new signs for the November Show and Sale. As there has been a conflict on our September open house we may be changing the open house to October 19 instead. Andrea brought in several of Julie McCullough's patterns to share with our members.

Program
Unfortunately, our original presenter was ill today. Our fearless leader, Andrea, came to the rescue and presented a wonderful program on Eastern European rolled dolls. This was an interesting variation from the rolled dolls our group has done before. Thank you, Andrea, for putting together this program at the last minute! Great job!!
